Enjoy the Outdoors while Loving our Earth!

In Hong Kong, we are having different kinds of events including running races, charity walks, sports events and carnivals every week. These frequent activities produce tremendous amount of single-use ‘waste’ like plastic bottles, cutleries, plastic bags, onsite decorations and souvenirs, which end up quickly in our landfills. Can we help to save these valuable resources and also our mother earth?

We are dumping 6,000,000 plastic bottles to the landfills each single day*!

Are you aware that recycling facilities are seldom available in events?

These years, a lot of races and events stress on the important principle of fulfilling a ‘green event’. An event can be held successfully while minimizing the negative impact on our environment. This all contributes to a positive image for both the event and the organizer.

Let’s make a wise choice good for our mother earth and our own health as well!
